AC reverses the current in periods, and the current flows in 2 directions. 
DC only flows in one direction and is constant. 

AC is typically used to transfer power over long distances from a generator to your home, stepping it up after it's generated to send it over the distance, then stepping it back down so that it is usable in your home.

DC is used typically inside of devices, as it sends a certain amount of electricity through the wires.

Nicolas Tesla, was ripped off by Edison to replace his DC stations with AC instead. ^^

If a football player collides with a goal post, what forces are at work?
AlekseyPX
When a footballer collides with the goal post, the forces at work are the action and reaction forces. The player will exert an action force on the goal post, and then a reaction force from the goal post will stop the player. The reaction force call will cause pain and even injury to the player.

Estimate the moment of inertia of a bicycle wheel 66 cm in diameter. The rim and tire have a combined mass of 1.2 Kg
Fed [463]
<span>For a point mass the moment of inertia is just the mass times the square of perpendicular distance to the rotation axis, I = mr^2. That point mass relationship becomes the basis for all other moments of inertia since any object can be built up from a collection of point masses. So the I = (1.2 kg)(0.66m/2)^2 = 0.1307 kg m2</span>

The smallest unit of charge is − 1.6 × 10 − 19 C, which is the charge in coulombs of a single electron. Robert Millikan was able
vovangra [49]

Answer:

-8.0 \times 10 ^{-19 }\ C,\ -3.2 \times 10 ^{-19 }\ C, -4.8 \times 10 ^{-19 }\ C

Explanation:

<u>Charge of an Electron</u>

Since Robert Millikan determined the charge of a single electron is

q_e=-1.6\cdot 10^{-19}\ C

Every possible charged particle must have a charge that is an exact multiple of that elemental charge. For example, if a particle has 5 electrons in excess, thus its charge is 5\times -1.6\cdot 10^{-19}\ C=-8 \cdot 10^{-19}\ C

Let's test the possible charges listed in the question:

-8.0 \times 10 ^{-19 }. We have just found it's a possible charge of a particle

-3.2 \times 10 ^{-19 }. Since 3.2 is an exact multiple of 1.6, this is also a possible charge of the oil droplets

-1.2 \times 10 ^{-19 } this is not a possible charge for an oil droplet since it's smaller than the charge of the electron, the smallest unit of charge

-5.6 \times 10 ^{-19 },\ -9.4 \times 10 ^{-19 } cannot be a possible charge for an oil droplet because they are not exact multiples of 1.6

Finally, the charge -4.8 \times 10 ^{-19 }\ C is four times the charge of the electron, so it is a possible value for the charge of an oil droplet

Summarizing, the following are the possible values for the charge of an oil droplet:

-8.0 \times 10 ^{-19 }\ C,\ -3.2 \times 10 ^{-19 }\ C, -4.8 \times 10 ^{-19 }\ C
